Why Your Mail Isn't Going Directly to Nassau County Jail (And Where to Send It Instead)

If you've been mailing letters to Nassau County Jail and they're not getting through, here's why: the jail doesn't accept regular incoming mail at the facility. All personal mail has to go through a GTL drop box for processing first.

Mail sent to the GTL drop box doesn't arrive as paper. Staff inspect it for contraband, then scan the contents into the GTL tablet system. Your loved one receives a digital version on their tablet - so don't expect them to mention holding your actual letter in their hands.

Send regular mail to this address. Include the inmate's full name and number exactly as shown: Nassau County Jail & Detention Center Attn: Inmate name and number 76212 Nicholas Cutinha Road Yulee, FL 32097

Legal mail works differently. The jail accepts it through regular mail, but only from attorneys, courts, and public officials. Send a personal letter that way? It gets returned unopened. Stick to the GTL drop box for anything that isn't legal correspondence.

Practical Tips

• ✓ Use the GTL drop box address (not the jail facility) for regular letters and photos.
• ✓ Write the inmate’s full name and number clearly on the envelope.
• ✓ Don’t expect paper mail to be handed over as-is - mail sent to the drop box is inspected and scanned into the GTL tablet system.
• ✓ Avoid trying to route regular mail directly to the facility; it isn’t accepted there.
